pla

Pla is a tiny program that sends some load to a web application. It's similar to Apache Bench (ab), but with better availability across different platforms and a less troubling installation experience.

Pla is originally written by rakyll and is available at rakyll/boom.

Due to some issues like memory consumption I decided to fork it.

Installation

Simple as it takes to type the following command:

go get -u github.com/mercadolibre/pla

Usage

Pla supports custom headers, request body and basic authentication. It runs provided number of requests in the provided concurrency level, and prints stats.

e: pla [<flags>] <url>

 and powerful HTTP load generator.

s:
, --help                 Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
, --amount=0             Number of requests to run.
, --length=0s            Length or duration of test, ex: 10s, 1m, 1h, etc. Invalidates n.
, --concurrency=0        Concurrency, number of requests to run concurrently. If concurrency is set as 0 pla will run with the same amount of cores that the processor has.
                         Cannot be larger than n.
, --qps=0                Rate Limit, in seconds (QPS).
, --method="GET"         HTTP method.
, --header=HEADER ...    Add custom HTTP header, name1:value1. Can be repeated for more headers.
, --timeout=0s           Request timeout, ex: 10s, 1m, 1h, etc.
, --body=""              Request Body.
, --auth=""              Basic Authentication, username:password.
  --disable-compression  Disable compression.
  --disable-keepalive    Disable keep-alive.
